Visual Art · Studio
I started on paper.
A designer first and a writer second. The visual practice runs under everything else I make. Most of it begins as a drawing, a photograph, or a small study, long before it becomes a website, a brand, or a record sleeve.
Painting and drawing
Watercolor, ink, portraits, and field studies, with small print runs of the work that wants to live on paper. Watercolor runs in the family: my mother is the watercolorist behind Rodeo Queen Fine Art, and I learned by working alongside her.
Photography
Documentary, portrait, performance, and venue work, live and styled, on assignment and self-directed. The full galleries live on their own page.
The Adobe craft
The toolkit the work runs on, design through video and audio. Each one opens to where that work lives.
Photoshop›
Photo retouching and compositing, performance and venue photography, album art, and social graphics.
Illustrator›
Logos, brand marks, vector identity systems, posters, and iconography.
InDesign›
Multi-page layout: programs, album packaging, book jackets, worksheets, press kits, and long-form documents.
Premiere Pro›
Performance video, short-form reels, and documentary edits, including the work in the video showcase.
After Effects›
Motion graphics, titles, and animated brand elements that move.
Audition›
Audio editing and cleanup for recordings, live capture, and podcast production.
Long enough to remember when each one shipped on a CD. Short enough to still be excited about what they can do.
Print and editorial
Posters, programs, album art, book jackets, and full identity systems, for arts organizations, attorneys, and the bands. The page is its own kind of stage, and it has to hold up in someone’s hands.
Commission a piece, or put the craft to work.
Originals, prints, photography, and design are booked through Good Creative Media.
Filtered portfolio
The visual work lives between hand and system.
I do not invent titles to make a grid look finished. The collections are named by real working categories while the archive is scanned and framed.
Originals, prints, photography, and design commissions are handled through Good Creative Media so the creative work and the client system stay in the same room.
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Audition show up as production tools, not decoration.
